[@Kaige64]

Crazy Vladtv got buried on youtube, took 6 months to recommend something from you even with my constant searches for Hip Hop and Yelawolf, as well as seeing a few VladTV interviews.

[@ujays111]

Probably one of the most versatile dudes in hip hop been listening to him since I was in highschool. Still listening today

[@ezio666]

Been listening to Yela since the creek water mix tape….🤘

[@DracoTheCorso]

He’s So underrated it’s crazy. He has word play skills like no other

[@jasonmahr5397]

For real. I cannot understand why this guy is so underrated. It makes no sense to me.

[@TinaMillan-do8ds]

Agreed!🤘🏽

[@brittanyjeffrandolph7497]

He won't give up that hole 🕳️ katt wasn't lying!!! Sometimes Diddy wants to party and you got to tell him no

[@ChristopherSKing-z7w]

Thanks

[@khunter8757]

You can definitely tell Yelawolf does not trust Vlad lol. Hes normally a lot more friendly.

[@slum4510]

Could be. Or he’s sober lol

[@Preacher2628]

That's what I thought

[@eternalrewind2190]

Seems like he's taking benzos

[@DurtyWyatEarp]

There's a bigger audience here too who if y'all don't recall called him a racist white boy redneck

So glad you brought Yela back! Great interview. He deserves way more recognition for what he's done in music🔥🤘

[@TinaMillan-do8ds]

Hell yeah! Absolutely!🤘🏽

[@terrycollins0314]

I met Yela BEFORE he became famous while down in Gadsden Alabama building a log house. Really humble & intelligent individual. He has definitely came a long way since then.

[@hllj2793]

Tell us more - how was he?

[@keithmccabe1090]

I met him too I was working front desk at a TownePlace Suites when he was touring Love Story, It was really brief but he was dope. Nice guy

I don't blame him for swerving on Bama

[@beauhewett2140]

Yelawolf is one of my favorite artists. Thanks for this Vlad

[@TinaMillan-do8ds]

Same! He’s one of my all time favorites 🤘🏽

[@Minivanmusician]

"Sometimes Y" is the best rock album I've heard in DECADES ... And he's a hell of an MC as well. Most overall talented artist I can think of..

[@Mikedropdirty]

💯 💯 💯 💯 best rock album out now

[@ThePigglyWigglyShow]

If anyone here is an artist, this interview is full of DIAMONDS. Thank you Mr. Wayne.

[@valid3383]

Yelawolf gonna keep it authentic when it comes to the art.

[@my87fifty]

This why the people that been listening to him before even shady still love this dude. Always been the same except where he’s learned, improved and mastered.

[@m.d.l.lindberg7751]

Real talk ❤

[@rodgerclements5493]

Everyone makes mistakes, all the real ones are still here Yela. Great interview!

[@ronmexico421]

ima be completely honest , shady never did shit to market wolf , love story didnt go gold because of shady , it went gold because of motherfuckers like me who traveled around the country doing promo for free and hung 5000 flyers around nashville , yeah the shady cosign was cool but his fanbase has always carried his promo , i have the posts and videos of all the shit we did on the street team, guerilla marketing , flyers in skate shops , smoke shops u name it we were there

[@adubhdx]

I'm pretty sure the song best friend with eminem helped a lot so shady did do something. Radioactive wasn't great n def needed a change so love story definitely was the album that made it all work out - em produced some beats on it too

[@initialMC]

Em not a great producer tbh his quality of beats are so much better now that he's on his own

[@Mysteriouslydarkstorys]

​@@adubhdxI gotta respectfully disagree, Radioactive is a hella dope album especially for it's mix of styles between songs and stuff

[@EJByrd]

Love story was and til this day still is my favorite album of his. Got me through some hard times. Eminem did a song and produced a song on that album and I love both records. He definitely bounced back big time with love story radioactive didn't do what he wanted

[@timgibson8790]

Forget genres, aint no box you can put Yela in unless its gotta bowtie on it! This man is more than a rapper he is an artist. A true living representation of the word. Love Story is one of the best albums ever made. Slumerican Made!

[@TinaMillan-do8ds]

🤘🏽

[@JordanPhilippi-f8w]

Love story is ingenius

[@dogflirt]

Yela doing another hiphop album is the best thing in years!! An absolute legend, one of the best to ever do it!!

[@JordanPhilippi-f8w]

I think he seen the country hip hop thing was out and not doing it anymore. He should keep it real the lacs and jawga Boyz was doing that shit first and way better.

[@gcage7508]

Killed it on the shady cypher 🏆 🐐 em Stan’s gonna get mad but his verse was better

[@JackMBeck25]

I agree … if I ever meet Yela first thing I’m doin is layin the shady cypher verse to him .. best verse

@@Adam-ui3ot He probably felt the need to be, he's on a press tour promoting his new album. Plenty of artists do interviews they don't care about when they need to promote something

[@BACKYARDALLDAY]

Great interview, yela is for sure a goat

[@my87fifty]

Yelawolf a real ass dude. He seems like a a$$hole but the more I watched these he’s just a real dude that ain’t about any kinda bs. He knows what an interview can do and twist his words and he makes sure that ain’t happening ever again. Been here since pop the trunk premiered on world star what 14 years ago? Just like Kendrick with high power on world star @worldstar use to be the joint. Scroll thru videos everyday. I’ve found some of my favorite artist from them before people knew who they were.

[@TinaMillan-do8ds]

He’s actually super cool very genuine extremely real!

[@BarbieBzdon]

I’ve never met a more down to earth guy then Wolf he is the most humble and honest amazing man he keeps it real and doesn’t ever sugarcoat anything I love this man to death he has stolen my heart for life

[@Black_Cat_Green]

So good to see Yelawolf!!!!!! Thank you so much for doing the interview. Rare site to see him sit down like this too.

[@Rite-Ae]

This is probably one of glads, best interviews, and most wholesome and least bullshit questions. 11/10. Yelawolf is a solid dude and Vlad did a good job displaying that. Godspeed!

[@stevenharper2249]

Dude put in his work and keeps it 💯

[@steadygleamin5541]

Yela is literally the meaning of artist. This guy opened up doors people don’t even talk about. Pioneer for transcending genres. The movie scene is whack right now. Give me a movie on Yela’s life and throw in everyone he’s met and hung with along the way including Jelly. Guys from Tennessee and Indiana people don’t know but had some true talent. Give me all that.

[@kdr1048]

Yellawolf is an amazing lyricist! And 1000% one of my all time favorites 🏁💪 Awesome interview

[@brandikey7341]

Yelawolf came into the Target that I used to work at and I told him that I was a big fan. He said thank you. Would love to talk to him more. Amazing artist for sure!

My big bro put me on to Yelawolf back in 03 or 04 ish when he would make moves in BHam.

[@CoCoChanel3]

Listened to him when still living wrong on the streets in 2016; listened in prison 2018-2020; 6 years sober now, still listening. I love how Eminem and Yelawolf have evolved into sobriety during the same times I did. It helped to hear them talk about it and inspired me to keep going. In case you haven’t heard it, I highly suggest downloading the single ‘Best Friend’, by Em and Yelawolf…the personal growth shown on this record was refreshing during a dark time of life when I was seeking the light, and is my favorite song of his (as much as I love the older albums). I wish I had a fiddle playing in background now during this post… real Yelawolf fans will get the reference 😊❤Thank you or this one, Vlad!

[@khunter8757]

Yelawolf is definitely NOT sober!! Go watch his stories, he gets effed up every single night.

[@josephberger9598]

Yelas been my favorite artist for over 10 years now. Dude is so genuine to the core, whether it’s in music or just every day life. I remember listening to that Slumdon Bridge EP on datpiff. Mind you this is like 2014 haha, I was on a field mission for the army at white sands. Barely had a signal but I downloaded a few tapes before I left and that was one of them. Still to this day one of my favorite tapes. One of the most underrated and versatile artists the industry has seen

Really like this whole platform. Vlad always kills it. Yella was really monotone and boring AF. Zero excitement. Love Yella just needs something to push it up a level.

If I’m not mistaken, I think he’s performing today in North Carolina right down the road from me in Black Mountain

I love how real he is. I love how he is telling how he kept picking himself up and kept moving, kept pushing to get where he wanted. I like how he admits he was broke numerous times.

Much love and respect to Yela and his team. 🫡
